This book provides rare insights into motivation among extremely
successful learners of English and languages other than English
(LOTEs) through the analysis of a longitudinal study and the
examination of the factors involved in becoming multilingual in a
non-multilingual environment. Based on sixteen interview sessions,
conducted over the course of nine years while the learners
progressed from high school to the world of work, this book offers
the story of how two learners persist in English/LOTE learning. The
study illuminates the long-term processes through which the
interviewees develop ideal English/LOTE selves in an environment
where multilingualism is not emphasized and where both English and
LOTEs can still be described as foreign languages. Educators and
researchers will learn from this study, which stretches our
understanding of motivation beyond the recent theorizing of L2
motivation and contributes to the limited research in long-term
motivational trajectories and LOTE learning motivation, which is
particularly scarce in non-European contexts. The book will be of
interest not only to readers in Japan but also to those in other
contexts as it offers an example of successful learners who go
beyond the pragmatic and instrumentalist view of language learning
to hold a more holistic view, thus revealing the factors which can
sustain multiple language learning, even in foreign language
contexts.
